GRAND MARAIS, MINNESOTA

September 3, 2017

Karla and I camped for a few nights at the Two Harbors Municipal Campground and watched the ore boats. It is a busy time for shipping as there were five boats either at the docks loading or just outside the break wall waiting to load.

The CSL St-Laurent owned by the Canadian Steam Ship Lines was anchored and could be seen from our campsite. Earlier this year, this beautiful mural was painted of the iconic Canada goose. The mural entitled “The Sea Keeper” was commissioned to commemorate Canada’s 150th birthday, which is this year. It took two months for four artists to complete the painting.
